The aircraft is convertible from TSAGI as a competitor to the Il-112V

In connection with the wear park an-26 – the main military transport aircraft of Russian air force – long ago there was the question of his replacement. The policy of support to the ukrainian producer, characteristic of the post-soviet period, has led to the fact that defense minister anatoly serdyukov was accepted the decision about purchasing the an-140. In this regard, from the Russian budget was funding the development of this machine. After the degradation of the Russian-ukrainian relations after the events a decision was made, according to which the place of the an-26 has to occupy the il-112v, whose first flight is planned for 2018.

Its production will be organized at the voronezh aircraft factory. The plane is intended for transportation of soldiers in full combat gear and various types of weapons and military equipment. The machine is fitted with two of the neWest Russian turboprop engine tv7-117ст, allowing to reach speeds of 500 km/h flight range with a payload weight of 3. 5 tons is 2400 km and the il-112v however, the central aerohydrodynamic institute named after professor n. E.

Zhukovsky introduced a new concept of light transport aircraft-transformer. He created a classic aerodynamic scheme: twin-engined all-metal cantilever monoplane with high mounted wing. Single-fin vertical tail with a dorsal fin and two ventral ridges. Able to take off and land on unequipped unpaved airfields.

The main advantage of aircraft is the possibility of conversion, occupying only a few hours, the passenger version of the transport. Depending on your current modifications it is capable of carrying 50 people, or 6 tons of cargo a distance of up to 1. 5 thousand km concept in tsagi, united aircraft corporation extremely skeptical about this development: "The two aircraft in this class can not be –so to blow out any competitor at the time, as we have this year we plan to raise the il-112v in the air, in a strange way. Neither ojsc "Il", nor the defense ministry as the main customer of il-112v didn't order tsagi such works. In this regard, the question arises about the appropriateness of useless research conducted by the institute for public expense. ".
